Harris Fantasy Football Podcast

The Chiefs surely looked great on Monday night while thumping the Broncos, but it was a different kind of great, centered around the running back and not the quarterback. We'll discuss that one, and many more games from Week 1, trying to give you an edge in your fantasy football league. Then we'll spin it forward, and begin talking about Week 2, with a look at the Week 2 waiver wire. Guest: Brandon Funston of The Athletic.

Is your mind palace shattered? It should be! Week 1 always gives us so much new information about what the NFL teams actually are, if only we'll take the time to watch the games. And around here, that's what we do! We've got eight of the Sunday contests fully reviewed on today's podcast, hopefully giving you insight that goes beyond box scores and silly metrics. What offenses look better than expected? Where are the land mines? We'll do our best to tell you both! Guest: Sam Gold.

ATL/PIT
BUF/HOU
GB/MIN

Is your mind palace shattered yet? Two games in, and we already have to reassess what some of these "great" teams actually are. The Niners destroyed the Rams Thursday night, and in particular that vaunted L.A. defense looked super-mortal. We'll try and draw some conclusions by watching the game film, we'll review the injury news that matters for Week 1, and then we'll take one final long look at the football uncertainty this weekend holds, and we'll describe the things that are freaking us out for fantasy football! Guest: Jim McCormick.

We got football that counts! We get to start interpreting what these NFL teams actually are! Patriots/Seahawks was not exactly a barn burner, but we got some clarity on Jadarian Price's role and a couple injuries that matter, plus Drake Maye blew this game so badly that he might just be on a Fraud Watch. We'll talk through it all, plus we'll think about your Week 1 fantasy football lineups with a little Flexual Healing nostalgia, and assemble some lineups for your DraftKings DFS in Week 1!

We're putting this episode of the Yacht Club into the main feed, so everyone can get a taste! Today we'll mostly spend time on Week 1 ranks, and pick out players where injury or weirdness of short-term situation might cause us to put them lower (or higher?) in our weekly ranks than they were in our draft ranks. It's a fun list of guys, and hopefully we can help you build Week 1 fantasy football lineups. We'll also preview the Wednesday night Patriots/Seahawks opener, update the movie draft results, and say thanks for making Pound Foolish a best seller!
